How to: PERFECT STEAK

  Nothing beats a juicy ribeye (or rib eye?) steak! If you don’t believe me ask my husband, ribeye is his favorite vegetable. According to the internet is the fat content, or the fat marbling, that makes a ribeye steak so juicy and tender. Apparently is also known as the Spencer steak. Thank you, Wikipedia,…

Shrimp and Grits

I am really having fun with these recipe templates, in case it was not obvious already. I’ve got nothing insightful    else to say on this gloomy Monday, so I’ll open a bottle of red wine and continue reading Marco Polo’s Adventures until my eye start itching. I  might be needing vision glasses, thank you countless nights…

Roasted Chicken with Fennel

From the category: recipes for lazy people, like  myself. It really is one of my favorite things to cook because it only takes 10 minutes to prepare everything and shove it into the oven. You can go about your business as long as you remember to remove the lid of the pan and let the…

Risotto is King!

  Summer is over, as far as I’m concerned. I’m back to my small kitchen, my pots and pans and my daily routine. It’s never easy coming back here after spending summer with family and friends. The first couple of months are a little sour and all we talk about is what we’ll do next…

Fake Nachos

  Howdy, World! It’s been too long! I missed cooking and bragging shamelessly about it. Spring is just amazing in Alabama, all I feel like doing this days is taking walks, reading, sipping coffees & teas and just chillin’. Soon I’ll be going back to Romania for 3 months, so this might be my last…

Beet Burgers * Burgeri din Sfecla

  This version of veggies burgers it’s super fun, you won’t believe the colors on your plate! Plus it’s extra healthy! I try my best not to eat bread (even though I bake fresh bread every 3-4 days), so I served my veggie burger with a handful of fresh spinach, avocado paste, some cherry tomatoes, few…
